This study is purposed to check up the natural 12 kinds of herbal extracts suitable for hangover and based on the results of contents of phenolic compounds, ABTS radical scavenging activity, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Selected 8 kinds of herbal extracts are blended according to the efficacy and the pearson's correlation between each content and activity. C. sinensis var. sinensis, P. densiflora Gnarl and P. lobata Ohwi showed excellent ADH activity, P. lobata Ohwi had a strong correlation between the content and efficacy, and C. sinensis var. sinensis, P. densiflora Gnarl had a negative correlation. Through the ADH and ALDH activity test of F.1 to F.7, the F.7 showed the highest synergic effect and selected as an optimal formulation. F.7 intake-group, the breath alcohol concentration was significantly reduced to 58% after 30 minutes and 27% after 120 minutes, compared to right after alcohol consumption. After alcohol consumption, there was a significant improvement effect (p<0.05) in tired and thirst in the intake group compared to the non-intake group.

Photocatalyst deposited beads were prepared by fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition (FB-CVD) under various operating conditions of substrates, bed temperature, pressure, and oxygen concentration. Photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde was carried out to determine the optimum operating condition of prepared photocatalysts. They were characterized by using FE-SEM, XRD, and XPS. From the FE-SEM photographs, it was found that the surfaces of titania-coated beads were covered with crystal form, particle form, and slick form of titania on alumina, silica-gel, and glass beads, respectively. From the result of photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde, it was found that prepared titania/ alumina beads at $600^{\circ}C$, 5 torr showed superior performance to others, and oxygen flow rate has no significant effect.

The carbonyl compounds in the atmosphere belong to one of the regulatory pollutants for the malodor control designated by the Korean Ministry of Environment(KMOE). In the present study, the emission concentration levels of carbonyl compounds were measured along with a number of criteria odor pollutants from a total of 47 individual companies(June 2004 to January 2005). The results of our study showed that a number of carbonyl compounds(such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, and butyraldehyde) maintained significantly high mean concentrations of 298 to 372 ppb. In contrast, other carbonyl compounds were low enough with the mean valves of 0.54 to 19.1 ppb. It was found that except for such industries as metal production or leather processing, their emissions were generally quite significant. If the measured values were evaluated in terms of malodor intensity, butyraldehyde appeared to be the most significant contributor to the malodor release. According to the measurements made in strong source areas, it can be concluded that several carbonyl compounds(acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, and valeraldehyde) are useful enough to diagnose malodor release from those source areas. It should also be addressed that a number of carbonyl compounds added newly as the result of malodor control legislation were not sensitive enough to diagnose malodor release from such sources.

Cu wire catalyst was highly reactive toward catalytic wet peroxide oxidation of the highly refractory 1,4-dioxane. While complete removal of 1,4-dioxane could be achieved with the catalyst, the removed 1,4-dioxane could not totally mineralized into $CO_2$ and $H_2O$. In accordance with the disappearance of 1,4-dioxane, formaldehyde and oxalic acid were formed gradually with reaction time and they went through maxima. At around the time of maximum concentrations of these two intermediates acetaldehyde concentration was increased drastically and showed maximum value. With the disappearance of these three intermediates, formic acid together with ethylene glycol diformate began to increase gradually. The Cu wire catalyst was proved also to be highly stable against deactivation during the reaction.

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the emission characteristics of aldehydes emitted by the printing industry and to evaluate their impact on adjacent residential areas. Methods: Aldehydes and THC were measured from the front of the control device in the printing and coating process. Aldehydes and ketones were measured by workplace area, residential area, and background area to evaluate their impact. Results: The concentrations of formaldehyde (<0.047 ppm) and acetaldehyde (<0.068 ppm) in the printing and coating process were relatively low, and the methyl ethyl ketone used as the primary solvent was the main carbonyl compound in the printing process. The daily mean concentrations of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were not significantly different by workplace area, residential area, or background area. However, the concentration of methyl ethyl ketone was high in the order of workplace area, residential area, and background area. Conclusions: The concentrations of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in the adjacent residential areas are considered to be more influenced by secondary sources of photochemical reactions than by primary sources. Methyl ethyl ketone is considered to be highly influenced by the primary source, which is printing facilities.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the hangover relieving effect of HO-series. HO-S1 is an herbal mixture, which consists of extracts from Flower of Pueraria lobata Ohwi, Glycyrrhiza glabra Linné, Fruit of Lycium chinense Miller, Poria cocos Wolf, Acanthopanax sessiliflorum Seeman, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Atractylodes lancea De Candlle and Zingiber officinale Roscoe. HO-S2 is a candidate that has been performed to ultra filtration based on HO-S1. HO-S3 is a mixture of amino acids and vitamins based on HO-S2. HO-01 is the final beverage base produced based on HO-S3. The antioxidant activity of HO-series was similar to that of vitamin C or trolox. The production of t-BHP induced reactive oxygen species(ROS) was significantly blocked in the presence of HO-series. In vivo study, AUC of alcohol and acetaldehyde concentrations in HO-S2 and HO-S3 treated groups significantly decreased. Hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH) activity were significantly higher in HO-S2 and HO-S3 treated groups. And 2E1 activity and glutathione were significantly elevated, while the malondialdehyde level was not significantly in liver tissue. After alcohol exposure, the sensitivity scores of blood alcohol and acetaldehyde concentration and hangover symptoms were significantly decreased in the HO-01 intake group compared with the non-intake group. ALDH activity was significantly increased in the HO-01 intake group. HO-series have antioxidant activity and a protective effect from ROS. HO-S2, HO-S3 and HO-01 are potentially highly beneficial in relieving hangover, as it scavenges reactive free radicals and boosts the endogenous antioxidant system.

기존의 일반적인 에탄올 제조법으로는 1) ethylene의 가수분해, 2)전분이나 당분의 발효, 3)acetylene으로부터 얻은 acetaldehyde의 환원반응이 있다. 기존의 화석연로에 의존하지 않고 에탄올을 생성하는 방법은 발효에 의한 방법이다. 발효에 의해 생성되는 에탄올의 농도는 batch식 발효에서 13-14%, 고정화 발효방법에서 5-10%정도이다. 이를 고순도의 에탄올로 농축하기 위한 방법으로는 증류법, 투과증발법, 역삼투법등이 있으며 증류를 이용하여 농축하는 경우에는 상당히 큰 열에너지를 필요로 한다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of memory impairment in rats fed alcohol liquid diets. The rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. While the control(C) group received a diet containing 12% of the daily calories with isocarbohydrate, the other groups received a diet containing 12% of the daily total calories with 36% Soju (A), 25% Cynanchi wilfordii radix liquors (WA), and 25% Polygoni multiflori radix liquors (RA) for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks, ADH activity in the brain tissue of the Group A was found to be significantly lower than Group C but significantly higher than both Groups WA and RA(p<0.05). ADLH activity was revealed to be the highest in the Group WA (p<0.05). The concentration of acetaldehyde, a highly toxic metabolite, was the highest in the Group A, but its concentration decreased significantly if fed a liquid diet containing WA. The concentration of acetylcholine, which has a high correlation with memory impairment, was significantly lower in Group A, although Group RA group was the highest compared to the other groups (p<0.05). AChE activity of the Group A was higher than Group C but lower in Groups WA and RA (p<0.05).

Alcohol consumption causes numerous consequences on the health of the human body. Heavy drinking on a daily base has caused liver diseases. Furthermore, some products such as acetaldehyde produced from alcohol metabolism are more toxic than alcohol itself. This study was carried out to evaluate the role of Lactobacillus casei on alcohol metabolism, especially, the removal of the toxic effect of alcohol. The maximum alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activities from L. casei were observed at 4 hr of culture. L. casei was confirmed to produce the ADH and ALDH by the SDS-PAGE. From in vivo test using SD rats with 22% alcoholic drink, blood alcohol concentration (BAC), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) of the rats feeding the medium containing L. casei were lower than those of the rats feeding the medium containing an alcoholic drink only This demonstrates that the ADH and ALDH produced by L. casei have virtual functions to detoxicate the alcohol in vivo and the fermentation broth of L. casei can be used as an alcohol detoxification drink.
